Re: pyop (post your own plays)

Every good coach in sports has a "playbook" with some tried and true "flea-flicker" or "hail-mary" plays as well as some creative original ones.

But there really aren't any "canned" plays for FIRST Robotics because so much of each match is dependant on what you and the other TWO teams can pull-off as an alliance.

Instead, consider making a bunch of copies of THIS 11"x17" paper field drawing (without all the dimension lines). You can doodle BEFORE a championship and come up with a whole lot of "plays" to practice (e.g. offensive/defensive) and you and your new-found collaborators can do the same at the regionals. I also made a large-scale drawing of the field (go to the white paper section of this forum) which you can layout on a tabletop with soda straw tetras.
